ABSTRACT

The antimutagenic properties of whole fresh-water blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, marketed under the commercial "Alpha Sun" were tested using the Ames test. Simultaneous addition of both algae and Nitrovin (a mutagen) to the test medium did not reduce the mutagenic activity. On the other hand, addition of freeze-dried blue-green algae to the test medium 2-24 h before the application of mutagen reduced it mutagenic activity.

TESTIMONIES

When my brother rescued his beagle/basset Abigail from the street, she was very thin. My brother started her on raw food and lots of New Earth products: enzymes, probiotics, Wild Earth, and Animal Algae. Within a few months her coat came to life and she filled out beautifully. And here´s a funny story. Even with short little basset legs, she managed to get on the kitchen counter and grab a bag of Essentials. She opened every packet individually and ate about 25 packets. She loves her algae!
